Lazy Day :P

Today was a catch up on sleep day. I didn't sleep in too late...I woke up around 10. Then I watched one of the movies I got yesterday, Life As We Know It, it took me a couple extra hours to watch it because I took a nap in the middle of it...tee hee. :)

Although it was a lazy day it was the first day that I made a meal for myself. Since I got here it's either been microwave meals or going out to eat or pizza delivery. What I made was either going to be gross or good and it ended up being pretty good! :) I made spaghetti and so I had noodles, a jar of garlic tomato sauce and then the iffy part which was a can of minced beef and onions. It was a little difficult to open the can since we definitely didn't think of buying a can opener yesterday...but I McGyvered it. So I cooked the sauce and meat together and then poured it over my cooked noodles and had myself some pretty tasty dinner. :)

I've also spent a good portion of my day trying to figure out my classes that I will be taking and trying to fit a schedule together. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I won't have Friday classes because it looks like, so far, that I shouldn't. That means I will have three day weekends to travel!!! I'm hoping to get into BMG306 (Core Management and Leadership Skills), SOC102 (Introduction to Sociology) and either POL112 (Introduction to the Study and Practice of Politics) or PUP105 (Introduction to Politics and Government). We'll see soon...I enroll tomorrow and then register for classes on Friday.

I figured out a problem I've been having the past couple days that has to do with my registration and it was pretty funny. I got a letter from Ulster a while back saying that when I get here I need to call in to my studies advisor for an appointment. So...I've been calling for the past couple days leaving messages and no one has gotten back to me. Today I received an email from a lady saying to call in to my studies advisor for an appointment on Friday at 10:00am. Then I figured it out...I emailed her back saying what I'd been doing and then said...I think our phrasing is getting me confused. I thought you meant to call her from my phone but I think you meant to go to her office on Friday at 10:00am. She emailed me back and said that, yes, she meant that I already have an appointment for Friday. Being an international student can be harder than it seems!

Tomorrow I've got the morning free...and then the parts of orientation that I am attending start at noon. Before that I'm going to try to go figure out how to enroll...wish me luck!
